Kahlil Gibran on friendship

Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.

I am indeed rich, since my income is superior to my expense, and my expense is equal to my wishes.

Don’t walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Albert Camus1913–1960

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Martin Luther King Jr.1929–1968Martin Luther King, Jr., The Trumpet of Conscience, Steeler Lecture, November 1967.

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one!’

C. S. Lewis1898–1963
